I’m asking for that KitchenAid hand mixer for my birthday. I don’t have room in my kitchen for a stand mixer, and my hand mixer can’t handle much more than cake mix and mashed potatoes. This promises to do dough. Let me know if you have one, and it doesn’t live up to the claim.

I’m also really curious about Levi’s Perfectly Slimming Jeans. We tested another, more expensive brand, at the Times Union not so long ago, so I’d love to give these a shot. Has anyone tried them?
